Officer jobs in leer, unity
East London Students' Union is a progressive charity that supports around 25,000 students that study at the University of East London. We are based in one of the most diverse boroughs in Europe and our membership proudly reflects the communities where we are based.
Our purpose is to support and empower our students by representing their views and providing a range of supportive services, events and activities to make university life the amazing experience it should be. Our Docklands offices, meeting rooms and reception area were fully refurbished last year. In Stratford, our new with sitting-around areas, reception, performance rooms and meetings room opened. In January, we opened our first café, on our Docklands campus. Our second café is currently under construction and will open on our Stratford campus in mid-September.
We're now working to build a students' union that champions their aspirations and can deliver what's needed to make a difference. We're excited about this and have invested in several new posts to give us the expertise needed. We're in the last year of our strategic plan and will be starting work on our next phase later this year.
If you are excited by the opportunity to help us do things differently, empower others and build a students' union that can better support our students, then we could have a role for you. If you can operate in environments where change is continual, challenges multi-faceted and where solutions require innovative thinking, you'll thrive here. You'll also need to be self-driven, able to operate with autonomy and be able to balance competing priorities.
As our advice and rights manager, you will be responsible for managing advice provision, providing impartial advice on academic matters to students and supporting the delivery of rights-based campaigns. You will be required to identify trends and produce reports using data emerging from casework, and to use data to inform effective delivery of campaigns by student officers, other student representatives and staff.
Diversity is one of the defining features of life at UEL, with over 180 nationalities represented in our student body. We are based in Newham, where more than 74% of residents are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. As we grow our staff team, we are passionate about making our teams representative of the students we support and the communities we operate in. We therefore especially welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and other candidates typically underrepresented in leadership.

About Church Army
Church Army exists to ensure that those on the margins of society know and experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
We are an Anglican evangelistic mission agency and our founder’s aim was to reach those who felt no affinity with the church. Rather than expecting people to come into church buildings, he instead grew a community of evangelists who went wherever they were needed to share the message of Jesus in word and action.
With the same mission in mind, we have never stood still, always adapting to the changing needs around us. We now have a mission community of over 500, including over 200 active Commissioned Evangelists working across the UK and Ireland.
Under the leadership of a new CEO, Matt Barlow, Church Army is going through a period of considerable change which will shape the charity for generations to come.
About the role
The Director of Engagement (DoE) role has a pivotal role to play in the future of Church Army. Working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Leadership Team, the DoE will lead the fundraising and communications strategy and provide oversight to the Engagement Team.
Given this period of change, the role needs someone with a good degree of agility, flexibility, and resilience. The right candidate will be more of a leader than a manager – but with the ability to do both – with an ability to operate in a faith based sector. Both humility and courage are essential characteristics.
We are seeking a strategic leader, with a track record of success in income generation, who can lead and develop a high-performing team and drive change through vital season.
How to Apply
Carnelian has been appointed by the Board to lead this search. Please get in touch if you would like to explore this role further.
Interviews with Carnelian will take place in September 2025. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with Church Army in October 2025.
We want everyone everywhere to encounter God’s love and be empowered to transform their communities through faith shared in words and action.

Founded in 1897, LSE Students' Union is one of the oldest Students' Unions in the UK and is the representative and campaigning body for students at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
